Please file these bug reports. Branden is currently redoing the SPARC
patches in these servers to sync them with Jakub's. Now's the time to get
this done :)
FYI, the Mach64 server with GPM using /dev/sunmouse works just fine
without any conflicts, so I think there is something else amiss here.
However, for my AXe system, I had to use psaux and have gpm setup as a ps2
repeater for X. Note, GPM will not repeat using the sun protocol, which is
the only thing (AFAIK) that the Xsun servers understand. So using the
repeater for them wont work.
